November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

Something to remember.



Organic foods are referred to the produce that are grown naturally with zero or minimal chemicals during growth and processing.  Concerning animals, organic foods also signify that animals used for food were treated humanely. 

In the modern world tampering with nature has gotten widespread.  It's what they call "conventional food" that's swept the shelves of all food stores.  Animals are fed on growth hormones so they grow big to yield maximum meat lined with plenty of fat.  Fruits and vegetables are treated with chemicals, synthetic fertilizers and genetic modification to enhance their size and color to look appetizing, even though it deadens the taste and flavor.  And of course, modern farming means using lots of pesticides in agricultural fields. 

Until a few years ago, diet experts were quite candid about organic food not being too healthy.  But lately, though they are still aware that it isn't as healthy as we think, these experts are trying to downplay the downside of conventional foods.   The other day I came across a statement that read "Organic foods are not necessarily more nutritious than conventional foods, but they typically are free of the pesticides that can be present in non-organic varieties .. If you are trying to avoid pesticides, chemicals, growth hormones and other contaminants, organic is the healthier choice. "  Hah!  what a clever way of playing with words. 

Don't get fooled folks.  Whenever possible, try to opt for organic foods.   That's the healthy choice.   But I realize it's hard to get organic eatables.  Not all stores carry them, and those that do, have them in limited supply that often get sold too fast.   And of course, the prices of organic fruits, veggies and meat are higher.
 
Despite its scarcity and higher prices, if you are still interested in organic foods, you are doing a great favor to your health.  In that case, also remember not to get duped by food labels.  Note that foods labeled "natural" and/or "real" do not mean organic.  The label must specifically use the term "organic."   If the labels says "organic," it generally means approximately 95% of that food is organic or natural.  If it says "100% organic," then that means the product is totally natural.

Some very essential points to remember, thanks.  While my family isn't too particular, I'm all and all for organic foods.  One thing the experts never mention is if according to their claims conventional food is no worse than organic, then why produce conventional food at all?  Obviously the use of chemicals & synthetic fertilizers etc. bring about some monetary benefits rather than health benefits.
